Posted: 26th March 2010 by Warren Shaw in NHL
They say “It ain't over till the fat lady sings.”
The Atlanta Thrashers have tried hard to keep from hearing that song.
In the last several games, the Thrashers have skated with purpose and heart, putting together a winning streak after losing six games and having almost everyone write them off.
The prospect of the Thrashers making the Stanley Cup playoffs have even gotten the local broadcast team excited. For the first time ...

My favorite wasn't the dunks as much as playing with the Phoenix Suns, Kevin Johnson and Charles Barkley. My favorite move was the ...

Posted: 26th March 2010 by Mark Novak in NHL

Despite collecting three goals and two assists for five points ...
It appears the Chicago Cubs will carry a rookie, Tyler Colvin, as their fifth outfielder when the come north for the regular season. And to me, it might be a shame.
The Cubs have a lot of money tied up in their outfield. Between the albatross contracts of Alfonso Soriano and Kosuke Fukudome, the corner outfield spots are pretty well locked up because of financial obligation.
Meanwhile, the Cubs brought in Marlon ...
Playoff beards have been a great tradition in sports for the past 20+ years. Playoff beards are when players and even fans do not shave their beards until after the playoffs or until their team is eliminated.
Even though the Islanders in the NHL started the tradition back in the early 80's, many sports have adopted the tradition of playoff beards. For example, Jake Plummer started bringing playoff beards into ...
